Consolidated Results

Mexico City, D.F., February 16, 2012 — Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; “Televisa” or “the Company”), today announced results for fourth quarter and full year 2011. The results have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (Mexican FRS). Beginning in first quarter 2012, as required by regulatory rules for public companies in Mexico, the results will be reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The following table sets forth a condensed consolidated statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, in millions of Mexican pesos, as well as the percentage of net sales that each line represents and the percentage change when comparing 2011 with 2010:

Consolidated net sales increased 8.2% to Ps.62,581.5 million in 2011 compared with Ps.57,856.8 million in 2010. This increase was attributable to strong revenue growth in our Programming Exports, Cable and Telecom, Pay Television Networks, and Sky segments.

Controlling interest net income decreased 10.3% to Ps.6,889.6 million in 2011 compared with Ps.7,683.4 million in 2010. The net decrease of Ps.793.8 million reflected primarily i) a Ps.1,114.1 million increase in integral cost of financing mainly as a result of additional interest expenses and the depreciation of the peso during the year; ii) a Ps.458 million increase in non-controlling interest net income due to net income growth in our Sky and Cable and Telecom segments; and iii) a Ps.237.5 million increase in equity in losses of affiliates, net, explained principally by equity in losses of La Sexta and Univision. These unfavorable variances were offset by a Ps.1,239.4 million increase in operating income.

Content
 
Beginning in 2012, we will report revenue and operating segment income for our Content businesses as a single segment, Content, and will categorize our sources of content revenue as follows: a) Advertising, b) Network Subscription Revenue, and c) Licensing and Syndication.
 
Given the cost structure of our Content business, operating segment income will be reported as a single line item.
 
Our Content business will encompass all sources of revenue derived from our content, including our TV Broadcasting, Pay Television Networks, Programming Exports and online revenue.
 
Our Content business performed well during the year, with Content revenues growing by 5%, to Ps.30,685.6 million while operating segment income for our Content business grew by 4.7% during the year. As a result Content operating segment income margin reached 47.1%.

The following discussion presents our results according to past practice.

Television
Broadcasting
Fourth-quarter sales increased 5.1% compared with the same period of 2010. Four of the top-five-rated shows transmitted in Mexico through broadcast television during the quarter were produced and transmitted by Televisa.
 
Full-year sales met our full-year guidance, increasing marginally, by 0.3% to Ps.22,829.2 million compared with Ps.22,750.1 million in 2010. These results were achieved despite an unfavorable comparison with 2010.
 
During the year, Televisa’s content continued to outperform. The final episode of the novela “Teresa” was the highest-rated program transmitted in Mexico through broadcast television during the year. Additionally, eight of the top-ten-rated shows on over-the-air television in Mexico were produced and transmitted by Televisa. Upfront deposits represented 72.5% of revenues during the year; the remaining were sales in the spot market.
 
 
Fourth-quarter operating segment income increased 3.5% compared with the same period of 2010, and the margin was 49.1%.
 
Full-year operating segment income decreased 1.8% to Ps.10,524.3 million compared with Ps.10,714.3 million in 2010; however, the margin was in line with guidance at 46.1%.
 
Pay Television Networks
Fourth-quarter sales increased 23.3% compared with the same period of 2010, driven mainly by the success of our pay-TV channels, and the growth of pay-TV penetration in Mexico.
 
Full-year sales increased 13.9% to Ps.3,584.8 million compared with Ps.3,146.2 million in 2010. The annual increase was driven by higher revenues from channels sold mainly in Mexico and Latin America, as well as higher advertising sales, which represented in 2011 24.1% of segment revenue, up from 22.7% in 2010. These results no longer include the consolidation of TuTV, which was sold to Univision as part of the deal closed in 2010. Excluding the contribution to revenues of TuTV in 2010 results, growth in our Pay Television Networks segment was 20.7%. During the year, Televisa successfully added “Tiin” to its portfolio of channels. This new network targets young teenagers and complements our existing portfolio of pay-TV channels.
 
 
Fourth-quarter operating segment income increased 3.1% compared with the same period of 2010, and the margin was 50.1%. The change in margin mainly reflected the launch of “Tiin”, high-definition channels, the cost of decoders in order to receive high-definition signals, and some exclusive soccer matches.
 
Full-year operating segment income increased 11.2% to Ps.1,803.9 million compared with Ps.1,622 million in 2010, and the margin was 50.3%. These results reflect higher revenue and the absence of costs and expenses related to i) ForoTV, which is now part of Television Broadcasting; ii) the transmission of the World Cup by TDN in 2010; and iii) TuTV, which is no longer consolidated. This was partially offset by an increase in the cost of content, mainly as a result of the launch of “Tiin” and more in-house productions.
 
Programming Exports
Fourth-quarter sales increased 34.5% compared with the same period of 2010. The royalty from Univision increased 36.7%.
 
Full-year sales increased 31.3% to Ps.4,038.7 million compared with Ps.3,074.8 million in 2010. The growth was attributable to an increase in royalties from Univision, from US$156.1 million in 2010 to US$224.9 million in 2011. This reflects the ongoing ratings success of Univision, and the favorable impact of the revised royalty structure. Additionally, during the second-half of the year we received revenues from Netflix.
 
 
Fourth-quarter operating segment income increased 35.1% compared with the same period of 2010, and the margin reached 54.1%.
 
Full-year operating segment income increased 40.7% to Ps.2,116.3 million compared with Ps.1,503.6 million in 2010, and the margin was 52.4%. These results reflect higher sales that were partially offset by higher amortizations of co-produced and exportable programming, including “La Fea más Bella” and “Rebelde”.
 
Publishing
Fourth-quarter sales increased 3.3% to Ps.975.4 million compared with Ps.944.4 million in 2010. These results reflect mainly stronger circulation revenue abroad that was partially offset by lower advertising revenues in Mexico and abroad.
 
Full-year sales decreased 1.2% to Ps.3,191.8 million compared with Ps.3,229.6 million in 2010. This decrease reflects mainly a decrease in circulation and advertising revenue in Mexico, which was partially offset by an increase in advertising revenue abroad.
   
 
Fourth-quarter operating segment income decreased 9.8% to Ps.159 million compared with the same period of 2010, and the margin was 16.3%.
 
Full-year operating segment income increased 6.4% to Ps.452.6 million compared with Ps.425.3 million in 2010, and the margin improved to 14.2%. This increase reflects lower paper and printing costs and our ongoing strict control on operating expenses.
 
Sky
 
Fourth-quarter sales increased 11.2% compared with the same period of 2010. During the quarter, Sky added a total of 184 thousand subscribers, mainly in Mexico.
 
Full-year sales increased 10.9% to Ps.12,479.2 million compared with Ps.11,248.2 million in 2010. The annual increase was driven by solid growth in the subscriber base by more than 964 thousand, explained mainly by the continued success of Sky´s low-cost offerings. Sky’s attractive and exclusive content offerings included some of the most important soccer tournaments, such as the “Copa de Oro” and “Copa América”. As of December 31, 2011, the number of gross active subscribers increased to 4,008,374 (including 157,646 commercial subscribers), compared with 3,044,028 (including 149,899 commercial subscribers) as of December 31, 2010. Sky closed the year with more than 159 thousand subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
 
 
Fourth-quarter operating segment income increased 10.8% compared with the same period of 2010, and the margin was 44.1%.
 
Full-year operating segment income increased 14.1% to Ps.5,790.3 million compared with Ps.5,074.5 million in 2010, and the margin increased to 46.4%. This increase reflects higher sales as well as the absence of costs amortized related to the exclusive transmission of certain 2010 Soccer World Cup matches.
 
Cable and Telecom
Fourth-quarter sales increased 16% compared with the same period of 2010 driven by the growth in all of our cable platforms.
 
 
 
Full-year sales increased 15.4% to Ps.13,635.4 million compared with Ps.11,814.2 million in 2010. This increase was attributable mainly to the addition of more than 623 thousand revenue generating units (RGUs) in Cablevisión, Cablemás, and TVI during the year as a result of the success of our competitive offerings. During the year, Cablevisión, Cablemás, TVI, and Bestel net sales increased 12.3%, 16.3%, 17.2%, and 19.6%, respectively.
 
The following table sets forth the breakdown of subscribers for each of our three cable and telecom subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011.

Fourth-quarter operating segment income increased 27.8% compared with the same period of 2010, and the margin increased to 38%. The margins were particularly strong in Bestel. This increase was driven by lower interconnection rates and a larger customer base.
 
Full-year operating segment income increased 22% to Ps.4,768.3 million compared with Ps.3,907.2 million in 2010, and the margin increased to 35%. These results reflect continued growth in the cable platforms, and strong margins at Bestel. These favorable variances were partially offset by an increase in advertising spending during the year.
 
The following tables set forth the breakdown of revenues and operating segment income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our four cable and telecom subsidiaries for 2011 and 2010.

Other Businesses
Fourth-quarter sales increased 7.8% compared with the same period of 2010 driven mainly by our feature-film distribution, Televisa interactive media, and radio businesses.
 
Full-year sales increased 8.2% to Ps.4,126.6 million compared with Ps.3,812.3 million in 2010. Businesses that performed well include feature-film distribution, soccer, and gaming. The results of gaming were driven by the success in the launch of new games. The soccer business benefited from the consolidation of the teams Necaxa and San Luis. Finally, the feature-film distribution business distributed hits such as “Salvando al Soldado Pérez” and “La Leyenda de la Llorona”.
 
 
Fourth-quarter operating segment loss decreased 37.9% compared with the same period of 2010.
 
Full-year operating segment loss decreased 35.5% to Ps.118.7 million compared with Ps.184 million in 2010, reflecting operating income instead of losses in our gaming and internet businesses, as well as an increase in the operating income of our radio business.
 

Corporate Expenses
 
Share-based compensation expense in 2011 and 2010 amounted to Ps.653.2 million and Ps.560.6 million, respectively, and was accounted for as corporate expense. Share-based compensation expense is measured at fair value at the time the equity benefits are granted to officers and employees, and is recognized over the vesting period.
 
Non-operating Results
 
Other Expense, Net
 
Other expense, net, increased by Ps.72.8 million, or 12.8%, to Ps.640 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared with Ps.567.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase reflected primarily the absence of a gain on disposition of our equity stakes in Volaris, a low-cost carrier airline, and TuTv, a distributor of our Spanish-speaking programming packages in the United States, in 2010. These unfavorable variances were partially offset primarily by a reduction of financial advisory and professional services, a lower loss on disposition of property and equipment, and the absence of expenses related to an impairment adjustment made to the carrying value of goodwill in our Publishing segment and the refinancing of debt of Cablemás in 2010.
 
Other expense, net, in the year ended December 31, 2011 included primarily financial advisory and professional services, loss on disposition of property and equipment, and donations.
 
Integral Cost of Financing

The following table sets forth integral cost of financing stated in millions of Mexican pesos for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The net expense attributable to integral cost of financing increased by Ps.1,114.1 million, or 36.8%, to Ps.4,142.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from Ps.3,028.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase reflected primarily i) a Ps.697.4 million increase in interest expense, due mainly to a higher average principal amount of long-term debt in 2011; and ii) a Ps.515.7 million increase in foreign unhedged exchange loss resulting primarily from the unfavorable effect of a 13.1% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the US dollar in 2011 on our average net US dollar liability position compared with a 5.5% appreciation in 2010 on our average net US dollar liability position. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.99 million increase in interest income, which is explained primarily by our investment in debentures issued by Broadcasting Media Partners, Inc. (“BMP”) and GSF Telecom Holdings, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“GSF”), the controlling companies of Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”) and Grupo Iusacell, S.A. de C.V. (“Iusacell”), respectively, in 2011, which effect was partially offset by a lower average amount of cash and cash equivalents in 2011.
 
Equity in Losses of Affiliates, Net
 
Equity in losses of affiliates, net, increased by Ps.237.5 million to Ps.449.4 million in 2011 compared with Ps.211.9 million in 2010. This increase reflected mainly equity in losses of La Sexta, a free-to-air television channel in Spain, and BMP, the controlling company of Univision, which effect was partially offset by an increase in equity in earnings of OCEN, a live-entertainment venture in Mexico.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes increased by Ps.150.8 million, or 4.6%, to Ps.3,409.8 million in 2011 from Ps.3,259  million in 2010. This increase reflected primarily a higher effective income tax rate.
 
Non-controlling Interest Net Income
 
Non-controlling interest net income increased by Ps.458 million, or 55%, to Ps.1,290.5 million in 2011, from Ps.832.5 million in 2010. This increase reflected primarily a higher portion of consolidated net income attributable to interests held by non-controlling equity owners in our Cable and Telecom and Sky segments.

1 National urban ratings and audience share are certified by IBOPE and are based upon IBOPE's national surveys, which are calculated seven days a week, in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and 25 other cities with a population of more than 500,000 people. “Ratings” for a period refers to the number of television sets tuned into the Company’s programs as a percentage of the total number of all television households. “Audience share” is the number of television sets tuned into the Company's programs as a percentage of the number of households watching conventional over-the-air television during that period, without regard to the number of viewers.
2 "Total Televisa" includes the Company's four networks as well as all local affiliates (including affiliates of Channel 4, most of which receive only a portion of their daily programming from Channel 4). Programming on affiliates of Channel 4 is generally broadcast in 12 of the 28 cities covered by national surveys. Programming on Channel 9 affiliates is broadcast in all of the cities covered by national surveys.
3 "Televisa Prime Time" is the time during which the Company generally charges its highest rates for its networks.
